Schakowsky Statement on May Day: Immigrant Rights Day

“Attacks on worker and immigrant rights have seen a dangerous increase in 2017, making this year’s May Day especially important.

“Today is a day for unified resistance. Across the country, people have taken this day to march, organize, and display their opposition to the divisive and immoral agenda of the Trump Administration. Men, women, and children of all ages and backgrounds are uniting to defend the rights of immigrants and workers.

“I will continue to echo their demand for action in the halls of Congress and will join my Democratic colleagues from the House and Senate tonight at an event to demonstrate our commitment to the resistance movement and their values.”
